Float Switch / Level Safety

This page documents the level safety module as a defined leverage point within the containment system. Its purpose is to preserve the completed development work, organize the mounting and wiring logic, and track the final certification path required for practical commercialization.

Purpose of this module

Provide containment level detection before overflow becomes a field problem.
Add operational safety value without redesigning the whole containment system.
Create a defined upgrade path for existing or future containment units.
Serve as a high-leverage entry point for selective redevelopment and market re-entry.

Current position

Development is understood to be functionally completed. The remaining major gate is certification, including the correct approval path for intended installation and market scope. This makes the level safety module one of the most actionable assets in the containment program.

Module family

LS800

Mechanical float level sensor base model.

LS801

Variant within the same level safety family. Record specific differences if applicable.

LS811

Additional variant. Confirm configuration and intended use case.

What to document here

Exact model-to-model differences between LS800, LS801, and LS811.
Mounting location and mechanical interface to the containment unit.
Switching logic and intended output behavior.
Relay details, voltage / current ratings, and enclosure assumptions.
Any test notes already completed during development.
Certification scope and intended market path.

Functional logic

1. Detect rising containment level

The float switch monitors liquid level within the containment unit and responds once the configured threshold is reached.

2. Trigger switching response

The module sends a signal or relay-based output for warning, shutdown, or control response depending on system configuration.

3. Reduce overflow risk

The module closes a known operational gap in the containment system by providing active level safety instead of manual-only monitoring.

Certification path tracker

Area	Current status	Required action	Priority	Notes
Product design completion	Completed	Confirm latest revision and freeze submission version	High	Record exact revision intended for certification.
Electrical documentation	To verify	Organize wiring logic, ratings, and relevant BOM data	High	Needed before submission to a certification body.
Mechanical mounting details	To verify	Document installation method and containment interface	Medium	Important for accurate scope and user instructions.
Certification scope	Open	Define CSA / UL / cULus target and market coverage	High	Scope should be narrow enough to avoid wasted effort.
Submission package	Open	Prepare BOM, drawings, wiring details, and sample requirements	High	Should be built from the internal archive pages, not from memory alone.
Commercial positioning	Defined	Position as level safety / overflow protection module	Medium	Useful for retrofit and installed-base support strategy.

Why this module matters

It addresses a real containment weakness: lack of active overflow warning or response.
It can be offered as an upgrade path rather than a full system replacement.
It supports installed-base relevance and selective new sales.
It creates a practical bridge between mechanical containment and smarter ESG functionality.

Risk points to watch

Certification scope becoming too broad or unclear.
Electrical component ratings not fully documented.
Installation assumptions not matching real field conditions.
Mixing this module into wider CTU-003 ambitions too early.

Suggested next-action sequence

1. Freeze the version

Confirm the exact model configuration that should move forward for approval and record it as the certification baseline.

2. Build the submission file

Pull together the BOM, wiring logic, mounting details, and required technical references into one internal package.

3. Select the approval path

Choose the most practical certification path aligned with target market, cost, and time efficiency.

Internal guidance

Treat this page as a commercialization bridge. The full containment business may still require broad system recovery, but this module is one of the clearest defined assets already in hand. Keep the scope tight, preserve the technical truth, and use this page to move from completed development to controlled execution.
